"There was a time that I hated techno, because it was too functional, lazy, non-creative and without any imagination in my eyes. Thanks to labels as Minimal Wave/Cititrax, L.I.E.S., Hotflush and Phantasy, to name a few, techno got its soul back again. These recent discoveries have made me enthusiastic about techno all over again, and that’s what I hope you’ll hear as well."
Reza Athar is a name that has been snapping the necks of the club elite for quite some time now, so it seems. However, his quick rise actually started just over a year ago. Starting with his Horizon concept, in which he invites artists that needed to be introduced in Holland, he quickly got recognized for his diverse style and infectious DJ sets. Reza's style is very diverse. He can dive into some italo, head over to post 80’s house and head on to techno, and he can do all of this in under ten minutes. The unique aspect about all of this, is that even though his love for music crosses many genre borders, he is always on point with telling his story, and blending all his records into a single piece of music.
In this 90 minute podcast he will showcase his recent developments, and live up to the name of being a true story teller. Enjoy!
